The trend in Europe is for an overall shift to the far and centre right.
austria:
ÖVP 29,7 (-3,0) Prozent [conservative]
SPÖ 23,8 (-9,5) [socialists]
HPM 17,9 (+3,9) [something undefined liberal populism]
FPÖ 13,1 (+6,1) [extrem right]
Grüne 9,5 (-3,4) [greens]
KPÖ 0,7 (-0,2) [align=left]

At least the extreme right in Germany didn't make it...
then again, it's really hard to decide what's right or left right now.
I hear that JOBBIK have their own paramilitary wing!

Estonian Centre Party - 26,07% - 2 seats [central-left populists with support from local russian speaking population; in opposition]
Indrek Tarand - 25,81% [independant candidate opposing to party-politics, probably socialist]
Estonian Reform Party - 15,34% - 1 seat [liberal-democrats, current ruling party]
Union of Pro Patria and Res Publica - 12,21% - 1 seat [conservative-nationalists]
Social Democratic Party - 8,7% - 1 seat [social democrats by the name, but rather liberal democrats by latest acts]
Estonian Greens - 2,73% - 0 seats
Biggest losers are Social Democrats, who had 3 seats last time and Centrists lost one seat to them with only 44 votes. There's also interesting fact, that several russian candidates and parties were up to elections, but received very little votes, as opposed to Centrist party, that is the most popular amongst elderly and russian speaking locals.

Had to bite my tongue today.
One of my staff going on about why she would vote BNP (even though she didn't vote at all this time). And all this in Peckham where my team is very diverse.
I understand her point about Labservative not representing the working people, I feel the same, but that is no excuse to vote for a fascist party unless you are actually a racist.
Statto Wrote:seems like the Blairite project to eradicate the entire core Labour support has been completed and they can now be consigned to the dustbin of history I think the expenses thing really finished them off - for the tories middle english daily mail reading support, getting a second home and a load of other freebies paid for by work seems like something to aspire to, for labour it just underlines that they live on a different planet from the people who they claim to represent and want to count on as 'core supporters'.
Single transferrable vote would be a very good thing imo... would mean that you could protest vote for the anarcho-syndicalists but not worry that you'd still rather have labour than the BNP. Might force politics into actually representing what people want to vote for rather than telling 99% of the electorate to fuck off because they're still better than the only plausible alternative.
(Also, wasn't there some statistic that in the euros, the BNP actually got a smaller number of votes than they did last time, but turnout was so low they did proportionately better?)

the lower turnout helped, but they got more votes as well
2004 808,200 4.9% (out of 17,028,947)
2009 943,598 6.2% (out of 15,136,932)
They would've have gotten more if it wasn't for those pesky anti-fascists.
The euro elections are PR in Britain whilst the local and parliamentary elections aren't - anyone notice the difference?
